Familiar and original Christmas songs - piano instrumental
Improvised piano solos
This song was composed and recorded for a Mother's Day video at our parish (Saint Ann's Catholic Church) in 2014.

This album was recorded in Woodstock, GA at Kat Shak Studios in October and November of 2011. A songbook with exact transcriptions is available.
